A slight touch of frost which quite disappeared but there was a sharp N.W. wind + in the forenoon a little rain. I started to bicycle + went to Bleachfield Road (Mrs W Smith curetting), Hospital + Goslaw Green but came back for the car + did Harewoodglen + Newarkburn + after lunch had to go back to Bowhill to see Lady Mary1 (suspicion of chickenpox) + then to Yair, so I got nothing more done at the accounts. Helen had tea with the Peeresses2 at Elmpark.
